My Journey with 21st Century Learning and Technology

Hi There! Welcome to my blog dear reader. I hope you are doing great!

In this blog, I want to share my ideas about 21st Century Learning and technology in English classrooms.

21st century learning is a modern approach to education. It emphasizes the importance of self-directed learning. This approach prompts students to create knowledge by themselves and make inferences from the information they gather. Thanks to this approach, in addition to being active learners, students can also use technology effectively in the classroom. 21st century learning supports the integration of technology in classrooms, enhancing both learning and creativity in the classroom. As a teacher candidate I see this approach very beneficial and I will gladly integrate it in my future classrooms. It is very important to keep up with innovations and modern developments in education. Integrating technology, which is the greatest and constantly evolving innovation of the modern world, into lessons helps students understand the material more easily.

In the context of language learning, there are many options for students to improve themselves. Technology offers many practical opportunities for students to develop their language skills. In terms of writing, speaking, reading, and listening, there are many ways that technology provides for students to develop their language skills.

Overall 21st century learning is crucial and should be an essential part of every language classroom.

Hi There! Welcome to my blog dear reader. Hope you are doing great! I want to share the podcast that I was assigned and my thoughts about the experience. For this task, I collaborated with my classmate, Rüveyda Güçlüer . We decided to create a vox-pop, and our main question was: “If you could ban one thing in the world, what would it be?” We interviewed 10 people at Marmara University, and everyone gave unique answers. It was an enjoyable experience for us because talking to many people and hearing their different perspectives was really fun. At first, we had some concerns about possible technical problems, but everything went smoothly. We used Vocaroo and CapCut for recording, and the process did not take long. In my opinion, giving students a podcast assignment is very beneficial because it boosts communication, collaboration (as in our case), and creativity. In the future, I would love to assign podcast projects to my students. I believe that creating podcast content in English ...

PSA: Take Back Control of Your Life

Hi There! Welcome to my blog, dear reader. Hope you are doing great! In this post, I want to share another assignment with you guys and also talk about the whole process. I was assigned a Digital Storytelling project for this assignment. I collaborated with my classmate, Meryem Dilara Demirkaynak . We had three options for the project, and we decided to go with a Public Service Announcement (PSA). We wanted to make a video about phone addiction because it is one of the most important issues in the modern world. We are all spending too much time on our phones and becoming disconnected from our surroundings, which can lead to unintended consequences in our lives. To support our points and show the seriousness of this situation, we used official data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK). At first, we were a little anxious about the project because we wanted to do our best and make sure everything was perfect. For the video, my friend and I filmed three different scenes. In each s...
